Women’s Tennis Releases 2019 Schedule

"We're looking forward to being in the Big South now, and getting to compete against teams we're familiar with from past seasons." McLane said, "We've got a fairly diverse non-conference schedule that will test us in various ways, but I feel we've got a lot of opportunities to show how much we've improved from last season and from the fall."

USC Upstate will play a total of ten home matches at the USC Upstate Tennis Complex this season. Out of those ten matches half of them will be Big South Conference matches.

The Spartans begin the season with a pair of home games against College of Charleston (Jan. 18) and Wofford (Jan. 24). USC Upstate starts the month of February off with a pair of games in Charlotte, N.C. against Belmont Abbey and Queens on February 2.
